Memory: May-June2006
how come it's already 2008~|o|~
I feel the urgency to finish collecting my memories before it's too late,
May 2006
It was really not a big month for Jin fans. Although still everyday there were reports of the debut concert tour, but no one really enjoyed them anymore, as the crazy concert schedule had already turned to be a big burden on Jin's health. What Jin fans were concerned most became-- "is he still sick" "is his voice alright?" "when the hell is the tour going to end?"
I remember that I read a report which said that Jin was not even able to utter a word in MC part and it was Junno who sang Jin's part and those kind of stuffs.
Finally there came the last two Dome concerts, and I still remember his swollen face on the tv screen in zoomin and mezamashi news.
Right before debut, there's a tv magazine said that both Jin and Kame's dramas were scheduled. Fans assumed that it's probably Attention Please, and as Jin's in the tour so the role was taken by Ryo. In May, when Kame was announced to be in Sapuri, rumors about who's originally in were flying around, but we'll never know the truth in that old story.
June 2006
It was the flood of Docomo ads featuring Jin in white that saved Jin fans from the desperation.
I'll also never forget the Six senses live in Utawara. That's the first KT live I really love. Jin sang his part with his relaxed chords. Huskiness was enticed there in a really good way. I found Jin's middle range amazingly charming. Jin's outfit in SS is also my favorite among all his group outfits.
There's another thing I'll never forget. Jin's appearance in Utawara June11 tought me how much Jin's beauty could be destroyed even when he's only 21 years old. The show was recorded during the tour time. The tiredness and the sickness on Jin's face there were telling that he's dying in the next second. I didn't get the thing why someone who's better relax in bed to save his life had to show up in a tv program in which he's mostly only a background?
And why even at that time there were still so many ppl who never forgot to add something like "that guy's arrogant and his lack of professionalism is digging a hole in his career" when they were talking about Jin.
